“What a strange, dreamlike, fun film. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it…gives off the feeling I try to get across with my comics- this is something handmade with love.”
-Jeffrey Brown, Author CLUMSY, SAVE THE DATE

“With a simple plot line, carried out in a unique way, and a cast of equally unique characters, Scumbabies isn’t what you might expect. It’s like an extended episode of Pee-wee’s Playhouse, except with blood, death, and cursing.”
-Justin Smith, Criticplanet.org

“…Classic slapstick as reinterpreted through the machine-gun editing of Moulin Rouge, an irrepressible “let’s put on a show!” enthusiasm, and the low-budget grit of 70’s exploitation cinema.”
-Jason Coffman, Filmmonthly.com

“Basically, it’s what would happen if John Waters and David Lynch dropped acid and ran away to join the circus together.”
-Alex Baumgartner
